    Swift Current is an evolved and personal film that takes a holistic view of the victims of sexual abuse. Very moving and absolutely necessary.

    I highly recommend Josh's honest, painful, and yet inspirational doc. Two things powerfully jumped out at me after watching. First, that filmmakers like Josh must stay vigilant shining a light on unspeakable travisties that are too often covered up by the very people entrusted to protect us. And second, that the human spirit truly is a thing of wonder. Your heart will break for this hockey player, but it will then fill with hope and joy as he displays profound courage and strength.
